Looking for NON-BIAS Speaker Reviewer in Alberta, Canada

Teslaudio · « **on:** 9 Jul 2005, 12:03 am »

Hello My Name is Lonny Edward Seguin, President/Designer Teslaudio

We are looking for Non-Bias reviewers (Audio Circle members) who would be interested in reviewing our speaker line. Retail pricing from $3800 - $15,000. Both Two Channel and Multi.

We would arrange for a in-house demo at our Manufacturing Facility in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada or bring the product out to your home.

The Strata Live series is hand crafted and incorporates several distinct innovation. The Strata Structure construction method, provides a sound foundation that dramatically reduces cabinet related resonance. Our Sym-plane proprietary driver system aligns the drivers along two planes, allowing the depth detail and focus of a "live" stage experience. Like the musical instruments they reflect, our classic, yet contemporary aesthetics is offered in hand selected Canadian maple natural, stained or Endura 9 layer synthetic process. Your imagination is the only limitation to what we can create.

As Reviewed in The Inner Ear Report:
“Each tone floats on an invisible stage, allowing listeners to pinpoint the location of each instrument's player, space between players, and the sensation of depth neatly arranges the musicians in focused rows
from front to back”

If your are interested or have any Questions please email me
lonny@teslaudio.com

Thank you for your interest.

I would try Pete at The Audio Room in Calgary. He has the best ear of anyone I have ever met. There are a few of us regular customers that would be more than happy to participate in a panel review session.

Wouldn't the best and more serious way to find a non-biased reviewer be to start by omitting the marketing BS contained in the want ad?

Hello Rb,
I know peter and he listened to our speakers last fall
We told us he would have a quick listen and (THREE HOURS LATER)

We current have three dealers in Calgary
Holmes Theatre

in one of there rooms. And or Peter at the Audio Room I would supply the gear.
If you are interested please email me a I will contact them and we
can Find a date that would work.

Thank you for your interest.

Thanks

Hello John,

I am genuinely seeking Qualified non-biased listeners. It is hard to catch peoples attention.

It is hard to present the romance without the BS if you know what I mean…………..

As a store owner you know the challenge. The truth VS propaganda.

We have spent the last 6 year bringing our product to market with the goal of not making

“JUST ANOTHER BOX MANUFACTURE” all of our drives are proprietary and our

Strata Structure is one of a kind. ( have included a picture of the Raw Structure)

Is it not the romance that makes you wants to hear a new speaker.

Hey John, What crawled up your ass!!! That's called Marketing.. Back Off!!

Marketing? You mean like this?

The "Harmonic crossover" seems to function almost exactly like a regular one.

I mean, c'mon, all I'm saying is "more steak, less sizzle". I was curious enough to look at the thread, but got completely weirded out halfway through the post.

Teslaudio · « **Reply #8 on:** 5 Aug 2005, 08:18 pm »

John,

I feel sad that you have lost the romance....

I agree with you the BS is somthing that can sometimes be to thick.

Harminic Crossover explaned:

In addition to our three way crossover because our drivers are paired we have created a secondary crossovers that splits to upper and lower harmonics within each of the threeway the each driver is match with specific wire, gauge lenght time correction, and "so on"to best increace the performance. This is something that we do and only we take the time a trouble to do. All hand made and matched down to +- 2%.

If you where to do this in one crossover you would not get the same result.

Our speakers are the result of 4.5 years of sound research

THE Science.

Not with music, just with the overuse of marketing and, of course, the review industry

Well, trademarked terms like "Sym-plane" or whatever is fine if and *only* if you can explain it in actual English and it actually makes sense.

Huh? Are you saying you have to discrete crossovers? Because you could do that and that's what it sounds like you are doing. What do you mean by "upper and lower harmonics"? Or are you just saying that you have dual 3-way crossovers, each optimized for the driver set it is running?

Is Seguin spanish?

Teslaudio, welcome to Audiocircle.

I have moved this thread to the more appropriate Market Square circle where you are more than welcome to post any and all marketing posts you wish.

John, it looks like we might have to move more of your posts to the fight club

Saying that our harmonic crossover is a "dual 3-way crossovers"
is like saying that a Porsche is a car?

Care to elaborate? I mean, look, with dual 3-way crossovers, you could do some interesting tweaks, smooth out a peak or dip or do other things, but is that what you're doing or not? The porsche-car comment isn't very illuminating. A Porsche is a car. So all I can assume is that, yes, you're using a parallel, dual 3-way crossover circuit with some tweaks of some sort. Nothing wrong with that. Potentially useful. Or potentially redundant. Are you using copper in one leg and silver in another? Or doing different crossover points? Different crossover slopes for some unique phase characteristics?

Actually, let me give you an example so you feel better. NHT, on their M5, M6 and L5 use what they internally call "V-FIG". You won't see it in their marketing brochures and they don't even talk about it. But they put the tweeter and upper mid side by side with, I think a 12dB/octave crossover. It puts the drives in phase at about 30 degrees off axis. That means you get maximum output to the person furthest away. Also known in the industry as "time/intensity trading". Wide sweetspot. It also has a secondary benefit or characteristic of cancelling towards the side walls, by as much as 12dB or so. That means, in a narrow room, especially, you get less sidewall reflection. It's clever design. Now, they're less ostentatious about it, but it's very clever and useful. So, maybe what you're doing is clever and useful, but it would be far more intriguing if you were more open about it. I might think you're the smartest designer in audio, once you explain it.

Gee thanks, Aragon

Welcome to Audiocircle, Lonny. Sorry for the rough start. Hang in there.

John Ashman, please don't make this a long weekend for me. Pointed questions to Lonny are fine but please don't call his literature B.S. He is looking for people to audition his speakers. If you want to start a fight, go to fight club. If you want to find out more about Teslaudio's speakers start a new thread with questions.

Thanks for everyones manditory cooperation!

Actually, I wasn't saying that HIS literature was BS, I was saying marketing BS in general. IOW, I think he'd have a better result if he didn't flower up his post with over the top marketing speak(sorry, I tend to think of marketing and BS as one word). And I had every intention of deleting the post because I thought, in a silly way he'd probably reread his post and think "wow, that was a bit over the top, wasn't it?" My point, too is that, hey, if he's looking to sell stuff, why cover it up? And if he's trying to get opinions on whether he's done a good job or not, why kill that with the "hey, I've really done a great job with these!" statements. IOW, I'm really confused by the post as it seems bipolar, but I do agree with the decision to move it to the Market Square as that seems to me to be the original intent after speaking with him off line. IOW, it appears he's hoping for buyers more than feedback. And that's fine, but that's not how it was worded.

On the other hand, Lonny's claiming to use some very unique and potentially interesting design principals (buried so far under marketing speak, it's impossible to tell) and if he is, I'm curious to know what he's doing. After all, there's a lot of shinola in the market and precious few good inspirational designs and I'm curious to see if he's on to something or not. So, no, not trying to pick a fight, I can do that off site. I do submit that his posting approach is all wrong, but who knows, maybe that's just the way it is always done. But that would be too bad. If a speaker designer is being innovative, I'd rather hear the engineering, not the trade-marked names for said engineering.

MaxCast · « **Reply #15 on:** 6 Aug 2005, 05:07 pm »

Understood, John. Glad you talked to him off line.

IMO, Lonny probably didn't know how much information to include in the original post. A post seeking auditions with a link probably would have done fine. Add more and more info about the speakers and it should be in Market Square.

Anyways, hopefully these extra posts gave a little more exposure and Lonny finds his auditioners.

Peace
